My LCD screen has an issue. The image on the screen is garbled and flickers in some areas.
LCD Screen has a bad connection. The screen itself I know is fine, I can pull on the top left of the screen and everything looks like it’s supposed to. But, when I release the pressure the image becomes garbled and flickers in some areas. I’ve read that sometimes the actual video cable can get loose? If so, I can’t seem to figure out how to get at the inside of the PC to investigate. Do you have any kind of walkthrough or illustrations that might help for this issue?
I’ll run the specs.
IBM Thinkpad A22m 2628 TTU
1Ghz PIII processor, 256MB RAM Rage 3D Mobility
Windows XP Pro SP2
I don’t want to frustrate you, but I think that you might have an issue with the screen itself. Basing on my experience, when you can get a normal image by twisting the screen, then most likely the screen is bad and should be replaced. I do not exclude possibility of a loose connection, so reseating the cable would be a good attempt to fix the problem. Use Lenovo website to download a hardware maintenance manual for Thinkpad A22m. The LCD disassembly would be discussed on the page 99. You can also take a look at my disassembly guides I’ve created for Toshiba laptops. Find a guide about taking apart a laptop display assembly to get a better idea about LCD mask removal.
